They are MORE than fast! Excellent! I have spent some time trying to capture one in flight - but so far with poor result....
This is inspiring - After all; you demonstrate that it is possible!

Thanks for your comment. I simply set up shutter time to get a good DOF and waited at a position where the dragonfly several times passed by. It's a little bit out of focus and there was not another shot with a better bokeh - so there's enough room for improvement ;-)
